The emotional song from Capaldi is his fourth since his comeback, following on from ‘Survive’, ‘Something In The Heavens’ and ‘Almost‘.
All the tracks have been described in a statement as his “most raw and personal songs to date”, and together make up his new EP ‘Survive’, which is out today (November 14).
Over a stripped-back, melancholic piano, Capaldi sings: “On the day that I leave, I hope the memories find you happy/ And my dad ain’t too mad at me, to say the least/ Pray my sister gets to sleep/ I wish I could have said it better, what all those times we had together meant to me.”

Capaldi recently wrapped his 2025 UK live shows, which marked his first tour dates in two years.
His latest single arrives after he made his long-awaited comeback in June, when he released the ‘Survive’ single and went on to play a surprise set at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
That song became his sixth UK Number One track, and the fastest selling single of 2025 so far – surpassing both Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga.
The latest run of live shows come after the singer was forced to cut his set at Glastonbury 2023 short after struggling with tics caused by Tourette’s. He later announced he was planning to take some time off to focus on his health.
Since coming back from his hiatus, he has teamed up with BetterHelp to provide 734,000 hours of free online therapy. Announcing the collaboration, he shared: “Therapy is the reason why I am able to be a musician again”. He would also play some warm up shows in May in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week.
